L.A. producers, this is something you don’t want to miss:

This Sonos Studio Workshop details building a beat and features Da Internz, a notable production duo at the top of their field. Da Internz are a Grammy-nominated production duo consisting of Marco “Kosine On Da Beat” Palacios and Ernest “Tuo” Clark. They have quickly become the go-to production choice for chart toppers such as Rihanna, Nas, Ludacris, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber and Boys II Men. Originating from Chicago, Da Internz now reside in Los Angeles. At the event, guests will get to hear Da Internz speak about their influences and research process, which includes finding samples, crafting a sonic palette and composing a beat collaboratively with artists, all while describing how they use Sonos as the reference to critically listen to their tracks.

At the beginning of the workshop audience members receive iPads pre-loaded with the Sonos app. Da Internz and the audience use the Sonos system to play their tracks and songs that are inspirational to them using Spotify, Rdio and other music services. The iPads are also pre-loaded with the Native Instruments iMaschine app and different musical elements provided by Da Internz. Each member of the class is assigned an element and the group plays together as one digital symphony demonstrating how a track is composed. The song plays wirelessly through the Sonos HiFi system as a real-world reference for incredible audio. Following this, there’s a special listening session where Da Internz lead a point-by-point critical analysis of the track. This workshop takes place at the Sonos Studio, the best place in Los Angeles to experience the Sonos Wireless HiFi System and the only acoustically-designed gallery that celebrates music listening.
